Coach Roy Williams was irked after the game by the Tar Heels’ defense. Pfeiffer shot 52 percent in the second half and 17-for-36 from three-point range for the game while scoring 47 points in the final 12 minutes as the pace quickened.

“We’re going to find out who the dickens is going to guard somebody in the next two days,” Williams said. “We’re not going to play like that. I’m serious. If we’re going to guard people like that, we’ll play 30-point games.”
